The Sask Party government is being accused of quietly working to move seniors needing the highest level of care from public into private care homes.

Saskatchewan NDP leader Ryan Meili says issuing tenders to explore private options for residents at Regina’s Pioneer Village and Grenfell Pioneer Home who have to be moved due to necessary renovations is raising a red flag.

NDP Seniors Critic Danielle Chartier says there are too many unanswered questions, such as who will be paying for it, how will it be paid for and how will this be monitored in personal care homes, so more transparency is needed.

The Opposition is going ask these questions to government ministers when the legislature reconvenes in a month.
